Plato/philosophy

Famous quotes containing the words plato and/or philosophy:

    The unexamined life is not worth living for man.
    —Socrates or Plato (469–399 B.C.)

    Nature in darkness groans
    And men are bound to sullen contemplation in the night:
    Restless they turn on beds of sorrow; in their inmost brain
    Feeling the crushing wheels, they rise, they write the bitter words
    Of stern philosophy & knead the bread of knowledge with tears & groans.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
